"

" Big tongue...HUGE ego. "

" Ahhh Gene. . . he's never met a dollar he didn't like, and he is always quite impressed with himself. He is a master showman, a savvy businessman and of course, a rock god. I found some of his assertions a little tough to swallow--like that he has NEVER touched alcohol or drugs--but all in all, this is a solid rock bio. Except if you are Peter Criss or Ace Frehley. Holy cow, do they get skewered. "

" I enjoyed learning about Gene's youth as an Israeli child and a yeshiva student in NY, but lost interest in his later exploits "

" Sure he's arrogant. Sure, hes a womanizer and at times even chauvinistic (ok, most of the time..). But I can't help be be fascinated by the story behind of one of the most iconic and interesting bands of the rock and roll era. This book is quite easy to read (lots of pictures) and while it doesn't make me want to run out and buy the entire Kiss Catalog or become a member of the Kiss Army, it certainly makes me excited to listen to their greatest hits again. "

" He slept with a lot of women and it was interesting but crazy life. "

" Good story of his life from Israel to about the very late 1990's "

" Gene ROCKS!! I have always loved KISS and Gene. However, this book really gives you a good insight to the man behind the makeup. "

" I loved the insight in this book. Probably wouldn't appeal to someone who didn't like the band KISS to begin with but you will learn things you didn't know and things you assumed to be true will be corrected if you weren't a fan. "

" Simmons was way too biased in this book. I think that I'd rather hear the story told by an unbiased third party. Also, Gene is too materialistic, which is very evident in his writing also. "

" In-depth autobiography. Entertaining read. "

" I am not a fan of Kiss but like to read a lot of different things. I was surprised by how insightful Gene Simmons is and how different his background is from what I would have imagined. "

" learn a lot of stuff about kiss and the one and only gene simmons and his life before during and after kiss "

" My favorite book of his! "

" I loved it. The problem's that when it's something said by Gene Simmons, I always wonder how much of it is true! "

" Fun book. Amazing the success he achieved due to focus and determination. "

" Interesting look at Gene's life from his childhood on and band experiences. "

" vh1 behind the music has ruined me and i cant get enough of this crap. the only thing really learned is exactly how little music means to gene simmons. which makes sense if you've ever heard kiss. "

" Gene Simmons talks about pussy and money for 270 pages. Apparently, the obnoxious prick played music, too. The best way to read this is to go to the bookstore, look up "Frehley, Paul 'Ace' " in the back, and read just the pages listed there. "

" Had to read a biography for english class. This is really good "

" After reading Ace's book, I think Gene's is quite inferior. Don't get me wrong, Gene had a great a great story, but it wasn't as touching as Ace's. "

" A fun glimpse at the man who inspired a thousand halloween costumes! Much better than that stupid reality show, he really does have a big....heart. "

" Although Gene is QUITE self absorbed.. and I don't agree with alot of his behaviours or ways of thinking, he is very intelligent. The book was very interesting to me. Not only because of how he began and ended up, but also because as a teen I LOVED KISS =) "

" Not as good as the first book Gene wrote, but like eveything that Kiss has put out in the last ten years why didn't I think this would be any better... I have an autograph copy of this book in hard-back form. If anyone interested in buying it, it could be yours.... "

" What can i say its Gene! Actually bought the book to donate to a fund raising auction as it is a special limite autographed edition. Took a peek at the first pages and I was hooked. Needless to say, I kept the book. "

" I really like Gene Simmons, and I really liked his other book - KISS and Make up. However, I couldn't stand reading this book. Halfway through, I got sick of reading all of the women-bashing, etc, that I needed to stop reading. Waste of time. "

" What you greed is what you get. Gene $immons acquired his wealth through hard work, money saving, and business-smart endeavours. With his wealth comes power, with power comes status. A true success story. "

" Of course I'm going to read any book about KISS and Gene Simmons. DIdn't like this as much as his other one, but still good. "

" really great story until he gets on rants on marriage.... I get his point about the institution and the human nature but seriously move on, but otherwise he's a really interesting fellow "

" Had to read. Love his show on A&E. It kills my that growing up adults thought they were Satan worshippers. He is nothing but a old,horny rich guy. His thoughts regarding life in general are right on the mark. "
